Bike mechanic programme

What? Delivered in partnership with Croydon Auto Bike Scheme (CABS) and the Met Police, this programme was used to engage young people who had been identified by the police in the New Addington area for anti-social behaviour and riding mopeds illegally. Motorbikes were used as a tool to positively engage young people and help them gain a good understanding of safety and safety equipment. Participants were also taught the implications of riding illegally, whilst retaining the opportunity to get on a motorbike and learn how to ride safely within a controlled environment.
